Faculty Mace

The Saint Peter’s University faculty mace is a symbol of the important role of faculty. It is carried by thepresident of the Faculty Senate at two annual occasions: the University’s fall Michaelmas ceremonyand spring commencement. The mace consists of three parts: the crown, hilt and handle.

The crown, which features a peacock, serves as both the visual and symbolic centerpiece of the mace. In1930, Rev. Robert Gannon, S.J., chose the peacock to serve as the mascot of what was then a newlyreopened Saint Peter’s College following World War I. He chose the peacock as the institution’s symbol inorder to reflect the theme of “resurrection and eternal life.” The ancient Greeks taught that the flesh of thepeacock did not decay at death, so Fr. Gannon felt that the brightly colored bird also embodied theCollege’s motto: “IN PERPETUUM.” The metal peacock is noted for its remarkable level of detail. Burnishedin high grade nickel silver, it is emblematic of Art Deco style but also serves as a reminder that Jersey Citywas once the metal arts and ironwork crucible of the region.

The sculptural peacock stands astride a 12 cornered block or hilt fashioned from a piece of reclaimedAleppo pinewood. The 12 corners represent the Apostolic roots of Saint Peter’s Catholic identity. TheAleppo pine used to fashion the hilt comes from Manresa, Spain, in the Catalonia region. It was there thatSaint Ignatius of Loyola experienced his famed illumination and saw God in all things. The hilt is emblazonedwith the University seal, which symbolizes the Catholic identity and Jesuit mission of the University.

Finally, the handle of the Saint Peter’s faculty mace is fashioned from reclaimed Spanish cedar or cedrelaodorata. This piece of wood once grew in the region where Jesuit missionaries first settled (1609) along thebanks of the Paraná River in what is now Paraguay.

The faculty mace symbolizes the transformational presence of the Society of Jesus in the old world of Spainand the new worlds of South and North America, from Paraguay to Pavonia.

Hail, Alma Mater,

Deathless Saint Peter’s

Our loving hearts acclaim

Thy resurrected name.

Nor war nor time has power

to bind thee,

Thine is the spirit proud and free.

And as year on year comes winging,

We will still be singing praises to thy fame.

Hail, Alma Mater,

Hallowed Saint Peter’s

With each new day we see

How much we owe to thee.

Truth is our guide, we shall not wander,

God is our strength, we shall not fail,

And our love will ever bind us

So that death will find us thine eternally.
